Many objects can clog the curved pipes of your toilet plumbing. Due to this, the toilet will often become backed up and lead to overflowing.

There are a few simple steps to the solution. The first step is to turn off the water valve located beneath the toilet, then add enough water so that the rim of the toilet plunger is completely under water. Gently plunge the toilet, ensure that the rim of the plunger and the toilet is tightly sealed while doing so. Use more force when plunging if necessary.
